My work explores the interior space of abstract feeling and thinking, when the mind wanders into unknown places. I am interested in undoing - when we do things and then go back on them, attempting to cancel or reverse actions by engaging in opposite or contrary behaviors.

These works inhabit the space between physical actions and the psychological effort to undo those already complete actions. Through the continued removal and covering up of paint, using gestural movement and saturated compositions of bright color, blunt mark-making, and erasure, there is a passage of time implicit in the working of the paint. The layering is reflective of an emotional excavation, in which internal experiences are built up over time, become calcified, and are later uncovered, and exposed.

In recent years I came back to painting after having gone through significant personal upheaval. I found that I had to become reacquainted with myself, going beneath my own layers of artifice that had built up over the years. This excavation of the self and undoing of the past is explored through a loose, raw, and immediate painting language, through which I am unearthing my own internal experience.
